Question

Chelsea bought a scarf at the sale price of $30.
The original cost of the scarf was $40.
What percent represents the discount that Chelsea received when buying the scarf?

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

• Subtract the discount price from original price
• 40 - 30 = 10 dollars, this is the discount amount
• Find out what percentage of the original amount the discount amount is
• Do this by dividing the discount by the original and multiply the result by 100
• $\frac{10}{40} \times100=25$ that's 25 percent
